If you contemplate EVER using remailers, this is a BAD idea. It's very
easy to forget that outgoing messages are being encrypted to you, and that
anyone can see that fact. So, when your message, carefully routed through
a remailer chain to hide the source of the message, gets to the recipient,
s/he can see that it is encrypted to you (as can anyone else with access
to the encrypted message), which is a VERY strong clue as to who sent the
message.

It's really, really, easy to bungle security...
